I moved from Dallas to Dubai with my husband and 3 kids. It's surprisingly similar to the US.
Briefly

"It's only been a few months, but I love it here. It's convenient to quickly get services like food delivery, and I don't think I've ever lived anywhere where I felt so safe."
"We were surprised to see so many American fast-food chains. The Cheesecake Factory is my favorite because, being a true Texas girl, I can get a big glass of iced tea, along with free refills."
"Dubai also has amazing local restaurants. That's one thing I love about the city: If you want to feel at home, you can; and if you want to explore new things, you can."
"The malls are similar to those in Texas. Dubai's malls carry familiar brands like H&M, American Eagle, and Gap."
